PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- The Buckman Neighborhood Association sat down with Multnomah County officias Monday night to try and come to a "good neighbor agreement" about the deflection (drug user drop-off) center. But the public meeting was not open to the public.
A Multnomah County spokesperson told KOIN 6 News the Buckman community members asked for the public meeting to become a private discussion because some people did not want to voice their concerns "in the spotlight" after plans to livestream the event were announced.
